‘Paddy was in the kitchen with my daughter Eliza who wanted some grapes – we always cut them up anyway but I shouted him to check inside them just in case as I’d seen a Facebook post by a friend who’d found one a few days earlier.’

When he went to cut the grapes in half before giving them to the young Eliza to eat, he found the dead maggot.

Sarah said the grim discovery left her feeling sick.

She told the Manchester Evening News: ‘When I saw inside it I felt sick. How many grapes have we eaten full that potentially had something in the middle of them?’

Sarah gave the store’s manager a call, who gave her a £5 voucher.

An Asda spokesperson said: ‘We’re currently investigating a customer complaint and since we were made aware we’re ensuring that extra quality checks are being carried out.’
